10 top bloggers from Indonesia
Like in Thailand and on the contrary to Singapore, Malaysia and the
Philippines, the number of blogs in English is rather small compared to
the size of the blogosphere. Yet, since there are so many people in
Indonesia, there is still a large number of good blogs in English from
Indonesians, together with some blogs from foreigners.
For the sake of a broader comprehension by all people in all of Southeast Asia and beyond, we will only include here blogs written in English, or both Bahasa Indonesia and English. They tackle popular activities for marketers, especially related to shopping like food, fashion and lifestyle or tech news and reviews, together with travel tips or more professional advice.
